Question 1 of 5

The nurse has given the client information about the use of sublingual nitroglycerin tablets prescribed for as-needed use if chest pain occurs. Which client statement helps assure the nurse that the client understands how to self-administer the medication?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Nitroglycerin may be self-administered sublingually 5 to 10 minutes before an activity that triggers chest pain. Tablets should be discarded 3 to 6 months after opening the bottle (per expiration date), and a new bottle of pills should be obtained from the pharmacy. Nitroglycerin is unstable and is affected by heat and cold, so it should not be kept close to the body (warmth) in a shirt pocket; rather, it should be kept in a jacket pocket or a purse. Headache often occurs with early use and diminishes in time. Acetaminophen may be used to treat headache.
